4/8/2023 Week 8- Day 1 of Veg (Day 66 overall) I still have 1, 1/2" of clearance to the net. The Competition will hit the half way point on Wed, that leaves exactly 10 weeks left from Wed. So I decided to go ahead and top off the water by adding 10 gallons to the system today. I added the appropriate Nutes. I am considering 2 plans now that I have decided that I am going to flip to flower on Saturday no matter what. Plan 1, I can evaluate throughout this week and flip earlier than Saturday if needed which would mean draining my system on that day adding week 1 Flower Nutes to the tank and start Week 1 of flower that day. I decided to go before before Saturday I will go ahead and change the water to week 1 flower, the same day I change the lights to 12/12. Then I will wait until the second Saturday so say 10 days if change my lights on Wed and then run Week 2 water/Nutes into Week4 and starting Week 5 change every week for rest of Grow. If I make it until Saturday will keep Week 1 Nutes until Week 3 and then starting Week 4 change every week until done. Mammoth Silica- Bi weekly addition .5Mil/Gal * 36 Gallons = 18Mil Added 10 Gallons to the system Mammoth Silica= .5Mil/Gal = 5Mil CalMag= .5Mil/Gal = 5Mil Root Drip = 1Mil/Gal = 10Mil FloraMicro= 5.4Mil/Gal= 54Mil FloraGrow= 4.2Mil/Gal= 42Mil FLoraBloom= 4.6Mil/Gal= 46Mil ORCA=.5Mil/Gal = 5Mil 4/9/2023 Week 8- Day 2 of Veg (Day 67 overall) Less than 1/2" left until #3 hits the SCROG line, I think she is going to push me to flip tomorrow. Not much today let them rest and will continue to monitor in the morning to see if I am going to need to flip early.

The Gorilla girls all popped the soil overnight from potting. Day 1 with a bang. lol The cheese broke on the second evening and even now at day 11 , 2 are still struggling to escape the soil fully. Frustrating to watch helplessly. The Gorilla girls are all nice and settled in on day 11 ( today) . I am watering occasionally and keeping it wider than the plugs width to encourage the roots to explore out. The Amnesia are still dormant so I have excluded them from rhe grow this far. dissapointed is not the word and no idea why they failed so badly ??. The potential growers are settling in now so hopefully a good weeks growing will bring them to heel.

Still feeding the same,she's very thirsty but considering the size etc it's understandable.Love the chocolope smell,still remember it from my last grow.Packing on bud atm.Should probably defoilate about 20% in the next day or so.

Shitty week. Fan fell down and broke a few branches on 2 plants. Overall they have recovered well and I hope the yield is not affected. Humidity has gone down. I bought a small dehumidifier - but somehow it's not doing what I'd hoped. I've defoliated a bit as the leaves are overlapping and moisture is accumulating there. NYC Sour D #1: Lost 2 lower branches. No drama, but I felt bad. #2: Still slow growth and very compact. Royal Cookies Auto #1: Still the best strain. The first pistins can be seen. #2: Also good plant. As well first pistins Royal Haze Auto #1: So far ok. No pistins to be seen yet. #2: Has lost a side branch. But it was a somewhat smaller plant anyway. Let's see how it continues. Light settings 50% dimmer at 50 cm distance Between 650and 970 ppfd. Small yellow leaf tips. I think this has more to do with the nutrients than with light stress. I don't add any fertilizer, but I don't have to water much either. I'll be on vacation for 11 days from next Wednesday on - I'll water 2 liters per plant before vacation so that the neighbor doesn't have too much to do. He'd better take care of the ventilation and humidity.

Esta semana, poca cosa a añadir, tan solo que continuamos como la semana pasada. Riegos alternos entre abono y agua, según tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal by BioBizz. Hemos aumentado la potencia de extracción para evitar olores.

So.... after another week of balancing PH and food, came to conclusion that I have a Sulphur shortage. The purple lines on the stems, reddish hue on the leaves. The nutes in the bi grow and coco peat earth will have been depleted after 6 to 7 weeks so I started topdressing with crushed BAC tablets on the earth. I also made a leafspray with some epsom salt to remedy immediate sulphur depletion. Instantly the greens began returning. What a difference in just a couple of days. The big one was cloned on the 4th of april and the small about 14th of april. On 5th of may i put them their new home. 7.5 weeks and 9 weeks to be correct... With this knowledge the smaller ones could go for another week... The lushness greens are returning. The larger plant really wants to go and Im at a point now that with a couple of days Im gonna let her. The smaller ones will stretch a little too so lets hope it all fills the tent. The bigger plant is fighting for space with them so its time... Companion plants im testing: catnip, red clover, calendula. Cant wait for flowering and harvest!

Good week overall

Esta semana la temperatura subio un poco. Las flores empiezan a engordar y se empieza a inundar todo de olor

Esta semana la dejamos más tranquila a la Jack solo le hicimos un trasplante a 5 litros quedo bien , la dejamos recuperar unos días y después le hacemos las últimas podas y ya va a estar lista para florecer

Letzte Woche kam ich nur zu kurzen Kontrollen und zum gießen, mehr war leider nicht drinnen. Die Georgia Pie habe ich etwas zu eifrig gegossen, das hat ihr Wachstum etwas verlangsamt, aber sie hat sich super davon erholt und hat wieder schön gesunde Blätter. Die Wurzeln haben den Topf bald vollständig Durchwurzelt und dann wird sie in 25 L Living Soil, gemischt mit Wizzy's Garten, gepflanzt. Es gab etwas Bonus Root Magic, damit sie sich schneller erholt.

Blüte – Woche 4 | Wochenupdate der Stretch ist abgeschlossen und die Buds entwickeln sich sichtbar von Tag zu Tag. Insgesamt sehr vitale Pflanzen, die F1-Genetik zeigt ordentlich Power. An einzelnen älteren Fächerblättern sind leichte Aufhellungen zwischen den Blattadern sowie kleine rostige Punkte zu sehen. Das könnte auf ein leichtes Cal/Mag-Defizit unter LED in der Blüte hin. Ab dem nächsten Gießen wird Cal/Mag ergänzt und PK etwas reduziert, um die Nährstoffbalance zu stabilisieren. Klima ist aktuell stabil, Licht läuft auf voller Leistung. Insgesamt sehr zufrieden mit dem bisherigen Verlauf und gespannt auf die kommenden Wochen

IVE MADE MORE VIDEOS BUT THEY JUST DON'T SEEM TO UPLOAD AND IT'S FAR TO SLOW TO DO IT FROM HOME 6/27 Made last week a five day week to get back on track. It's still overcast and rainy. It's not raining a lot bit it's consistent. Despite the weather the plants are doing phenomenal. I'll update later. It's 1pm. It's been raining consistently since 11. Just a sprinkle but it's steady. I'm going to begun uploading the weeks weather on my diary. I may start a new diary for the plants I light depped as they are flowering pretty good. Rain stopped and it's just overcast for now. I looked at some videos and did a comparison of videos one week ago and videos today and HOLY SHIT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Especially the light depped 10th planet. Well everything but that was the most significant difference. I'm astonished at the health and growth despite the crummy weather. Continued to rain. Just got harder. Plants are taking it but it's flooding underneath the pallets a little but it will be fine. The light dep however has me concerned. The 10th planet is looking spectacular. The bigger purple punch I'd looking good too. The smaller one though looks to have a pollen sack coming off one of the branches. Considering its not on the otherside I assume it's not just a swollen calyx. I don't mind chucking it especially if that means I don't hurt my other girls so I want to make sure. I sent videos to a few other growers and I'll add a question on here. Those three plants have been isolated from the rest for a few days due to rain. I have the suspect isolated alone until I can confirm. It sucks cause the light Depp was going good and the6ve all got little flowers. 6/28 Well that fucking sucks. ALL THREE plants I tried to light depp hermed on me. I could see male flowers. Luckily I had been keeping a really good eye on them and it was preflowers mostly. At least I caught it. One or two stamines on each plant. Would've been really easy to miss. Only one had STARTED to elongate into a stem so I think I caught it early enough. Plus since all this rain they've been kept in a different location then my big girls. Glad I did that now. Boy the roots looked good on those plants. I just grabbed the stalk and lifted and it came right out of the pot. I held it there admiring it for a minute. This sucks. At least the real plants are doing good. As far as I know. No male preflowers that's for sure. I've got some feedback from other growers and the videos are a little blurry but I had found a light leak and I'm certain these plants hermed. I know I could've tried to save them but I didn't want to risk it. I compared what I was seeing with Google photos and other websites. Aside from the larger ball with its stem, there were also several little bumps besides developed calyxes that were weaving into little buds. Trust me that I wouldn't cut down my plants if I wasn't 110% sure. I might've been able to "save them" but to me it's just not worth the risk. 6/29 I was second guessing myself pretty hard last night due to some responses I got on my light dep and messages I got from other growets. Made my anxiety horrible but I looked on several video's I'd taken again and I know what I saw. I felt better after that. This was after I researched and waited THREE days until I saw the ball on the stem and the groupings of small nubs under a fresh yellow flower. These plants were flowering good and it sucks to lose them. One MAY have been ok but one was a runt and had all the characteristics of a true hermaphrodite. They were only in 3's and I couldn't risk my harvest for an experiment. Still sucks. Oh well. Sun is starting to come out. Plants seem to be doing fantastic. I have one spot on a leaf that looks like a pillar munched on a leaf so I'll probably get the bt out soon as I have a dry day that I can apply it. I'll have to check the weather. I need to start a nute regiment but the plants aren't telling me they need anything yet. 6/30 I fucked up dates or dodnt do it yesterday or it didnt save right so I'm leaving this blank today is the 1st. 7/1 I have still only watered s couple times and I haven't had to feed. This week I'm going to start nutes. I had some external ersonal situations that have kept me from my plants. I'm hoping to get back on track. I noticed some pillar damage so I'll need to dig out the BT. This morning I saw this giant ground hog by my cage. Hated too but had to get rid of him. Of course some of the blowback landed on the leaves of one of my plants. I tried to clean it as best I could. Better than that fat bastard eating everything in one night. I broke a branch either falling around it or bulling through when I was pissed or I LST it the wrong way and the wind broke it against the tomato cage. Nice big branch too on top. I tried to fix it with duct tape but we'll see. The plants need me to spend sometime with them. I need to clean them up. Apply bt and give them their first feeding. I'll update as I go. They don't seem nutrient deficient by any means but I don't think it would hurt to start the nutes. 7/2 Bags were lighter today and if it wasn't going to rain tonight and tomorrow I'd he watering. Plants look great so soil isn't depleted yet I guess. They're growing rather rapidly. The branch I broke didnt make it. Had an idea it wouldn't but I had to try. I waited on the BT on account of the rain. I may go back over and change my mind and water with silica or a mild nute solution or maybe apply the BT. Depends what time I get back. I have some work I need to do over there. There's a few that I need to clean up the bottoms on. Pest damage is minor and limited to one or two plants and a leaf or two only. 7/3 More rain. It was supposed to rain this morning too but it didn't. We got .33in yesterday and through last night so I thought that was ok. Looking back on my previous diaries I'm doing things significantly different than before. I had used a lot more nutes earlier on. This morning I mixed two gallons of 2tsp of big bloom and fed it to the 9 plants in smart pots leaving the container plants as they have much more water in them. Looking back at other diaries I previously had, WPM and septoria by this time not to mention a shit ton of other pests I was fighting by this time. Since I poisoned where the cagexwas multiple times and sprayed the cage before it was moved I luckily don't have that problem yet knock on wood. I'm planning to apply BT tonight to deal with the moth larvae if there are any. I'm looking at plants around this area and im seeimg SOME septoria and pm on raspberry bushes and burdock so it is around. I made sure my cage is not by any other vegetation this year and is sitting on asphalt with the bags on raised pallets. Good thing I did or I guarantee they'd be flooded by now. I've been seeing multiple complaints from maine growers online (AND THEY HAVE HEALTHY PLANTS!) saying this is the worst year ever. Maybe they need a dose of fusarium oxysporum to keep them humble. This is maine. If you don't like the weather just wait five minutes. Meanwhile I'll be doing my sun dance hoping for sun. "Hard to grow cannabis with no sunlight" said another grower on my forum.

Here we go, week 8! It's time to put in some weight ladies! Hope to see some swelling from now on, but I think they still have more than a couple of weeks to go... This MexicanAirlines is the oldest one in the tent but not sure if its gonna be the first to be chopped.. Gonna give her all the time she needs

What can I say, well I can't fault these girls. Just getting fatter as we go. Happy days. Thinking of putting a new inline fan. As i am struggling to keep the moisture down.

Starting out week 6 the Grapes an Cream from Atlas is doing amazing about ready for my liking to switch to flower real soon
